2010-2011 Season Comparisons?

Hi This'nThat. 60 mph at 5 degrees is not always enjoyable, but sledding when you get the chance is. Last year was a great snowmobile year until February. The trails were washed down and the lake went down to bare ice after a rain storm in late January. We got no more significant snow - so the lake was difficult to ride on. My snowmobile never left the shed after February 1 and the dock went in on St. Patty's day. This year, the heavy snow and resultant slush made the lake a challenge for a while, but that problem seems to be easing - so this year already better than 2010. There have been seasons when conditions are great into April, but usually, by mid-march - as you duck under maple tap piping - the season is on the wane.
